The frozen North
Those of you who have been here may remember that green road signs on the motorways commonly direct travellers to 'The North' and 'The South', as if the details can be worked out later... last week I was very much in The North, with the Jones family, staying in a lovely cottage in Newton Upon Rawcliffe, in Yorkshire. We had lots of snow, although it didn't usually stay for very long, but I thought this was the best way to show off the village.
The village green, complete with duck (five points if you can spot him).
Looking back the other way, to the road out of the village leading toward Pickering.
Sebastian learned to say 'duck', while we were there.
The other side of the Methodist Chapel, looking back towards the village again.
The church we attended on Easter Sunday morning - a lovely service, with a welcoming vicar and a friendly congregation.
The path up to the entrance at the side of the church.
Where we stayed - Manor Farm Cottages (our particular one was called Gateside).
(For those who are interested - ie dad - ours were the windows to the right of the chimney, and the pond is behind me and to my left as I was taking the photo).
The back of the house, and the only entrance.
Behind the houses.
We had a LOVELY week; I will hopefully post more about it soon.

"For those who are interested - ie dad"
I would have assumed that everyone would be interested in gaining precise details of locations - sometimes called "a map in one's head"! : )
I have looked it all up in Google maps (satellite view), found the village, the pond and the Methodist chapel. I can locate the approximate position of the Manor Farm Cottages on the right, but cannot find the Church of England and graveyard.
But of course it all looks interesting and wonderful - but what else would one expect in the Yorkshire moors?
If you want to find the Church of England, go back to satellite view, and where you see the second label for 'Yatts Road', look for a black car on the left side of the road, about to pass into a shadow made by trees. As far as I can figure it, those trees casting the shadows are the ones in the churchyard - at the closest zoom you can see what I think are gravestones in the front, the pointed roof, and the avenue of trees lining the pathway up the side, like in my picture.
